An all J-Pop soundtrack is pretty much going to be limited to P3, P4, or TWEWY.

(Also I'd argue that P3's soundtrack's influences were broader than just JPop. The battle themes have a major highlife feel, and there's still a lot of the minimalist ambient, smooth jazz, and krautrock from the other PS2 megaten games).

Errr, Valkyria Chronicles meets none of your requirements bar the cell shaded graphics. Also, asking for an anime styled jRPG is kind of silly since pretty much every jRPG is anime styled, it would actually be a lot harder to find one that isn't. Id say that what you're looking for is a blend of jRPG and a graphic novel in a modern setting. Sadly, I can't help you since the best example I know of is Persona 4, and I'm pretty sure you've already played that (I'm borderline certain that that's the game that left you wanting more in the first place*).

True, maybe me saying J-POP was a bit of a stretch.You do put it in a better terms, that is kinda what I liked regarding the music in those games.

It might be a little slow-moving and doesn't take place at a school or similar, but for my money the most gorgeous cel-shaded anime-art game of all time is Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. I love simply walking around the world map in that game.

1- Well drawn anime style chars.2- Graphics is like cell-shaded.3- Lots of running around talking to ppl (wich ususally happens at the school or campus).4- J-POP music.

To give you an example of what I am looking for:1- Persona series.

Anything else out there on PSP? (could also check DS titles).

1) they are very well drawn they have almost full body portraits and depending on their mood their portrait reflect it.2) Nope3) Like in most rpgs you can talk to people in towns (even tough is a srpg)4) Nope.

Growlanser WoT share this similarities with the persona sries:

-You can name the silent protagonist MC.- You can hook up with npc and pc females.-Lots of choices that raises or lower the relationships- Events in wich you can date said females (Think of it like the Social links)- Hard (Trademark of most ATLUS games)
